The Ordinary has firmly cemented itself as a leader in science-backed skin care. Taking the guesswork out of building a regime, it ditches unnecessary, filler ingredients for familiar, hard-working actives that deliver promising results. And joining the brand's stellar line up is the Retinal 0.2% Emulsion (15ml), a high-strength retinoid that smooths and firms the look of skin.
With a high 0.2% concentration of retinal, the Retinal 0.2% Emulsion (15ml) achieves healthier-looking skin by delivering a more direct delivery of vitamin A than retinol.
Working to improve the appearance of pigmentation and fine lines and wrinkles, this superior emulsion also helps to refine skin texture, leaving it soft and smooth. Gaining its colour from the high concentration of retinal (which is naturally yellow), this must-have offsets the common side effects of retinoids with avenanthramide (a key ingredient found in oats) to reduce the feeling of skin discomfort and dryness. In short? We can't see ourselves without this bathroom-shelf staple...

Try it out!
This is just as good as the much more expensive versions, and retinal is more effective than retinol while making your skin less sensitive, so highly recommend this

Ok
I find this retinal easy to apply and does make a difference with your skin but it’s bright yellow in colour and stains the skin which is strange when applied. I’ve tried using less of the product but still stains so I have to make sure I wash my face thoroughly the morning after applying to get rid of that yellow tint on my face.

Will see!
Good new launch from the ordinary! This retinol has a light but creamy texture and is not greasy, it is bright yellow though, so some may have a problem with potential staining of skin. It is too early to tell if it makes a difference but l will use at least three tubes before reporting back as to effectiveness, but it does remind me a lot of the Inkey list 1% retinol cream, if you like that you will like this. My only gripe is that there is only 15mls for the price, that's the size of an eye cream so it probably won't last long!
